December 22nd sledding

Before I get to Xmas photos, I have to share our sledding adventures out at the farm a few days before Xmas. We got more snow in the valley (always snow on the mountains around us) then we have in many many years, and I was even more excited to now be a part of the Case family where we have our own private hills to sled down! Erin and Mark could not find sleds at the stores so they improvised and bought some corrugated pastic and cut that up for sleds. And Erin got out the spray can of Pam to help us slide down.

Erin scoped out this hill for our first one. I had my snow shoes on so I helped pave the path. There was a layer of snow, then a layer of ice and then more snow on top, we had to pack it down.

Brandon had fun throwing ice chunks around (no, he's not just showing off his muscles here).


Shasta was having a blast running after everyone as they went down.

Erin's expression was hilarious on the above picture, had to blow it up a bit for ya'll to enjoy.

Brandon is getting chased down by Shasta too.

You can see that Mark and Brett (the furthest down the hill) took it headfirst into the snow.

Hunter stayed inside with Grandma Teri but she got to enjoy snuggling up to Gramp's armpit after the sledding was over (it's okay though, he took a shower).

Here are just a few of the pretty shots of the farm with all the snow.
